<p>[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 25300942, member: 102103"]Anything pre-WW2 Japan is decent for 10 cents. I like to look out for occupation money. I know the Manchukuo 10 Fen was a junk bin pick. (4th from L on top)[ATTACH=full]1616224[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Long ago, I was a Japanese/Chemistry double major in college. So I can more or less sightread the characters which come up on most East Asian coins. Older stuff like the seal script on some Song Dynasty coins is still quite a challenge for me.</p><p>I went on to study materials engineering in grad school. Coin collecting is probably about the only hobby I could have picked that uses my background in chemistry, metallurgy and East Asian languages at the same time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
